Today’s tip is to try a new recipe. While you’re cooking and eating meals with your loved ones, this is a great time to turn off your devices, catch up, and enjoy the great food you’ve prepared.
Jasmine of Sweet Simple Vegan shared a quick but delicious recipe with us that she made during her Getaway. You can make it at home – or even better, over the campfire outside of your tiny cabin (just be sure to bring a cast iron skillet with you). Pro tip: print this recipe ahead of time to go totally screen-free while you’re putting your meal together.
Vegan Campfire Hash Recipe
Prep Time: 8 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1/2 large onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
3 medium yukon gold potatoes, cut into small cubes
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 can (15.5 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
2 heaping cups chopped kale, stems removed
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
Serve with
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro or parsley, for garnish
1 large avocado, sliced
Toasted bread
Instructions
- In a large cast-iron skillet, add in 2 tablespoons of oil along with the onions, garlic, bell peppers. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened.
- Mix in the potatoes and the old bay, and carefully cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil. Cook, stirring every few minutes, until the potatoes soften, about 15 minutes. Remove the lid and allow the potatoes to cook for 2 minutes more, or until browned.
- Stir in the kale and black beans. Allow both to heat through and the kale to turn bright green, about 3 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Serve warm with a garnish of cilantro and avocado plus a side of toast. Enjoy.
